WoodScaper vs Surreal Machines Diffuse Usage & Stats
WoodScaper combines into one unit the 4 classic guitar effects : phaser, chorus/flanger, wah-wah and tremelo. Besides the familiar controls each effect has some extra not-so-commonly-found options. The 4 effects can be routed in series (pedalboard mode), parallel (DAW mode) or some combinations of those modes. Panning or the Stereo control can create stereo sounds from a mono input source. WoodScaper is both stand-alone and an AUv3 effect.
- All LFO’s can be set to different waveforms : Sine, Square, Saw Up, Saw Down, Triangle.
- All LFO frequencies can be set to a bar fraction (1/4, 1/8 , …) of the BPM or can be set free to a specific rate
(independent from the BPM).
- All LFO phases can be reset with a button.
- All effects have an On/Off (parallel routing) or On/Bypass (serial routing) switch like on a pedalboard. The switches can
be toggled by Midi CC’s.
- Phaser has settings for number of poles, frequency range and modulation flavour.
- Phaser has second LFO to modulate filter Q.
- Chorus has feedback, HighPass, LowPass and Saturation.
- Wah-wah control can be LFO, Envelope, Envelope + LFO, side chain, Midi note velocity or Midi CC 1 (mod wheel).
- Wah Envelope has Attack, Release and Threshold or Sensitivity controls.
- Wah can go up or down.
- Wah filter type and Q can be set.
- Tremolo has 3 types : Amplitude, Ring or Harmonic.
- Harmonic Tremolo has cross-over frequency control.
- Tremolo has a Threshold control to have more tremolo when the signal increases.
- Tremolo has “Biased Tremolo” mode to get more tremolo when the signal decreases.
- Has a global Input and Output Gain control.
- Has 2 extra LFO’s to modulate most parameters (rates, depths, …)
- Modulation LFO’s have their own slew rate control and a random mode.
- Presets can be stored in iCloud Drive (makes them available on all your devices).
- Presets can be switched with Midi Program Changes or a Midi CC (up or down)
- Major controls can be set with Midi CC messages.

Diffuse is inspired by classic hardware delay and reverb effects from the 1970’s and 1980’s. It takes a Surreal Machines look at the frontier between delays and reverbs. It's an analog/digital hybrid - an analog modeled delay fused with a classic reverb design used in early digital units. In Diffuse you get more than the best of both worlds - you can morph between delays and reverbs, and find all kinds of fantastical sounds in between the two. You’ll also find plenty of nonlinearities and smooth tape-style delay changes.
Diffuse gives you complete control over smearing, echoes and damping in the most intuitive ways possible.

Diffuse is an Audio Unit V3 plugin; it benefits from an AUV3 host like Logic, GarageBand, Cubasis, FL Studio Mobile, AUM, etc.
